This Lego Plane Can Actually Fly

One of the unadulterated joys of playing with Legos as a child is building planes and flying them around with your hand. However, if you're YouTuber Peter Sripol, you can make that joy a little more adult by building a working RC plane out of Legos.

The plane manages to fly even though, as Sripol notes, Legos are "not a viable material for airframe construction."After all, you don't get to be the coolest company in the world by telling everyone what they want, it turns out. You let them figure it out on their own.
